Bad Breath: A State of Mind?
Feb/070
An article on about.com hints on something which is very relevent to those who think they might have bad breath.
The study showed that many people have faulty perceptions about having bad breath, making them acutely aware of their sometimes imaginary affliction, while others with severe halitosis might not even know they have it.
People’s self image played a major part in this whole process.
People who were “worriers” were more likely to score their breath worse than a neutral odor judge, whereas others might rate it closer to what it should be. Being able to accurately assess their own breath was also a key to being able to remedy their symptoms.
In the most extreme cases, working with a mental health professional might be necessary.
